I would like to ask this:
I want to export my project and in such a way that the final clip to look the same in every monitor (PC, Mac, TV, even film). The
only way of achieving that is by embeding a color profile. That can be done only in After effects. The problem is that I use After
effects in order to make the effects or some color correction. You can never use After effects to render the whole movie.
So, the final render is done by Premiere Pro. Premiere Pro though is not equiped with color management. So how can I embed
a certain color profile when exporting the final project from Premiere?
If I render the clips consisting the whole project in After effects and render them out with the embeded color profile and then
import them into Premiere for the final editing and exporting, will it be possible to maintain the spesific profile, since during clips
exporting from After effects, I checked "include metadata" (on)?
Thank you!
Show me a DVD or BR player and a TV that makes use of embedded color profiles. AFAIK these do not exist, so the short answer is NO, it is not possible.
you don't seem to know much about this matter...
No, I'm one of the most well known nitwits around here. OTOH you don't seem to understand display devices, DVD or BR.

This isn't possible. Just about every monitor has display settings that can defeat whatever your intention was to view it. This especially goes for digital TVs that have different viewing modes, and Never Twice the Same Color, NTSC.
The Color Management in Ae is extremely untrustworthy (in many professional opinions), and I'd guess that most people using Ae turn it off completely, and instead use LUTs with their monitor, with the possible exception of people doing film outs.
You can never use After effects to render the whole movie.
Wrong again.
I think the best you can hope for is to color your project on a high quality calibrated monitor, and just wish and hope that people down line have made a similar attempt to set up their display devices properly.
Guys, it can be done. There is no doupt about that. Have a look at this tutorial. I am not asking whether it can be done or not. I know it can be done..... I just asked if it can be done with Premiere.

No. Not on DVD, not on BR,
I think that you're misunderstanding how color management works in general. But, before addressing that, here's the simple statement: Premiere Pro does not do color management.
OK, so about that misunderstanding: You don't need to embed a color profile to use color management. The way that color management works is that you tell the color-managed application (e.g., After Effects) what kind of output device you're targeting, and it creates RGB/YUV values in the output such that the colors appear as you intend on that single kind of device.
Yes, you can embed a color profile, but that is for handing off files between post-production applications, so that you can tell another application (e.g., Photoshop) about that rendering intent mentioned above. A DVD player will not read or use an embedded color profile; it just reads the the RGB/YUV values and displays them in its own color space---which you allowed for by creating the color values from a color-managed application.
(BTW, I'm the one who created the video that you linked to.)
I am only interested in creating a project and be sure that when I play it on my HDTV, I will watch exactly the same colors. I don't need to embed a color profile. I will just choose my output device I am targeting, as you said, and that's all.
I just wanted to know if that can be done in premiere because after effects is not suitable for a whole movie final editing and exporting. That's why I asked if the color profile can pass to Premiere through metadata, but it cannot.
By the way the tutorial was very enlightening!
I would like to ask though, since you know a lot about such matters (by saying that I am not being aggressive to Harm Millaard, who has a very very good spherical knowledge, since his responses have helped me a lot in several issues) If there is a way to ensure that color, gamma and contrast quality of a Premiere project can be reflected exactly as it is on other output devices (TV and especialy film), or the only thing we can do is just be sure to be whithin safe broadcasts limits.
Thank you!
Note what Jim said above about color management not being very useful for television, because there are so many settings that the user can tweak on their set (not to mention other parts of the system along the way).
The best that you can realistically do is to monitor/preview your colors on a broadcast monitor as you work and then do a final check of your output on a device of the same sort that you expect your end-users to use.
If you do want to use color management, you can create a master out of Premiere Pro and then bring that through After Effects for creation of multiple outputs for various output devices---but that isn't necessary for a single output like HDTV.

Happy New Year !
The game I am hoping to play ... well, if real life is kind to me, I will continue to work on my Thalassa setting,
the latest incarnation of my science fiction water world setting, this time with the "Perryverse" (= the universe
of the German Perry Rhodan science fiction series) as the background and a modified Ringworld RPG as the

Happy Upcoming New Year everyone! I hope whatever holidays you celebrate have treated you kindly.
With January comes a return to Ravenloft for me. I tried to get something going in October but it was too busy. Sadly, two of my players will have moved to Texas by the time I'm up and running again. I'm looking forward to getting back to the dread realms but a part of me is itching for a fantasy heartbreaker. Time will tell.
Harpy New year.
I'm looking forward to playing 'Derek Bullet, P.I.' in an upcoming CoC game, then finishing off part 3 of my RQ3 campaign and somewhere in there I will also be hoping to hack out another monograph for Aces High...
Mr Jealousy has returned to reality!
Happy New Year!
No longer Brother of the Chuckle, I see.
Definitely playing RQ, until the end of the campaign. Maybe Legend in 2015, if the current campaign finishes in time.

Happy New Year to all.
Actually I haven't been in a game since 2012, owing to school and family health issues. I'll be happy if I can get something going. Ideally I'll get a Magic World game going, or my long-threatened Erebus campaign (maybe both). Failing that, there's maybe a Numenera game starting up nearby -- like the concept and core design, hate the D&D emulation layer on top -- or perhaps something OSR or Cthulhu-esque brewing.

As well as some mid- to high-level BLUEHOLME™, I'm hoping to finally get a full game of Ancient AEONS™ going instead of just spot-testing rules. Wouldn't mind a game of RQ6, but I'd probably have to run it if I wanted to make that happen. And I'll probably play some FATE and Pathfinder, no doubt.
I have my new copy of OQ2 on the way, and would like to play in that at some point. I want to find a regular game of something this year. I may have to do it online using Google+ Hangouts or something similar.
Hoping I can afford a few more game books. I wonder how much the new printing of RQ6 will cost?
Happy new year everybody. Magic World is my game right now, but I'm looking for a sci fi game to run using the BGB rules in 2014.

Companies have generally slashed advertising spending when tough times loom, and these tough times are no different: One recent report predicts spending in 2001 will be down 6 percent from 2000 levels. Advertising is a particularly easy target for cost cutting, because few companies have developed reliable ways to track or predict the return on investment (ROI) for such spending. Instead, advertising budgets are often computed strictly as a percentage of revenues, or based on the previous year's budget, with little attempt to determine how much is needed to address market goals.
That is the wrong approach, say those who actively seek the Holy Grail of metrics–an ROI on advertising. Advertising spending does produce measurable returns, they insist. But so far, "most of the effective advertising ROI techniques are based on attitudinal research like field research, and focus groups on consumer perceptions," says Don E. Schultz, professor of integrated marketing communications at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. "When you try to blend that information with financial metrics, a lot of CFOs don't want to go there."
On the other hand, some CFOs have been there for a while. Businesses that have control over the means of distribution–service firms, restaurants, hotels, grocery stores, and the like–can quite precisely determine the impact of advertising on sales by means of bar code-scanning and other point-of-sale technology. But for firms that lack this direct connection to the consumer, such metrics are hard to come by.
"The finance function has traditionally struggled with advertising investments, because of the difficulty of measuring the impact," says Keith Woodward, vice president of finance at the Big G cereal division of General Mills Inc., in Minneapolis. "We are very analytical people. We want to say, 'I invest here, I see the return there.' That's what we see with most of our capital expenditures. Our return is directly traceable to increased volume or revenue, and you can't do that with advertising."
Woodward thinks that attitude is changing out of necessity. "We have more sophisticated tools to get at the measures, and we're beginning to realize that it's necessary to evaluate new types of metrics," such as brand value. "That's how you differentiate and maintain your position in the marketplace today," he says.
Nonetheless, Woodward says that advertising investments at the cereal division are driven primarily by the market-growth potential of each product line, a traditional revenue metric. "We start with the premise that we will invest most in the highest-return areas," he says. "We look at a total division in terms of brand valuation, but we also look at each specific brand to determine the income for each. There has to be an opportunity for growth, or else we won't invest."
Investment decisions are made by examining the historical performance of the brand as well as market research metrics on previous advertising effectiveness, growth versus competition, and other changes in the marketplace. Using this information, the company determines how much money to spend on advertising each brand, a decision in which Woodward is closely involved. Once the ad campaigns are launched, the company uses revenue and market data, along with some proprietary metrics, to see if they are working.

Poured into a pint glass.
Appearance: A very dark brown/black. Cannot see through it at all. A thick tan head that dissipates to a lacing.
Smell: A hint of vanilla, coffee, not very strong.
Taste: What it lacks in smell, it makes up for in taste. A strong porter taste with a touch of vanilla. Similar to coffee.
Mouthfeel: Very smooth and drinkable.
Overall: After a weak aroma, the taste saved the beer. A smooth, easily drinkable porter. Glad I had it.

I decided to try this beer as it sounded interesting from all the reviews. At first I wasn't a fan, but then it grew on me. It's quite smooth and has a hint of vanilla, nothing overpowering. I'm used to heartier beers, but this was pleasant to drink. It has a nice flavor. I would buy again if I needed something light and smooth to drink with a bit if flavor. I finished it quickly without noticing and wishing I had another as it went by so fast. It's not at the top of my list, but I did enjoy it enough to buy again.

12oz bottle into a pint glass.
Pours a clear deep, dark brow with a thick one finger light tan head. Extremely good head retention and it also has a nearly solid layer of lacing all the way around the glass.
Aroma has loads of vanilla along with caramel, some light roasted coffee and just a hint of smoke. Not bad but it is a little bit on the weak side.
Lots more vanilla in the flavor bordering on too much. There is almost a bit of a medicinal note to it that is off-putting. More lightly roasted coffee, caramel, and a bit of smoke. Mouthfeel is pretty light but silky with a pretty good dose of stickiness on the finish.
Overall, this beer is definitely drinkable and not bad but is just lacking that something to make it great. Glad I got to try it but not really something I will be seeking out.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Color was a reddish brown with a small caramel head. Body was a bit thin food a porter. Initial flavor was thin with a slight vanilla tinge, with a strong coffee-like bitterness to follow. Thoroughly unremarkable. Too dry for the style and not nearly enough vanilla. Dry Dock makes a much better iteration of this beer.

Pours a nice dark brown with a half inch light brown head. Not much vanilla smell at first. After the beer warms up a little I could smell the vanilla. Not much vanilla taste at all. A very dry tasting beer with a dry finish. There is a slight sweet smell and taste. Was a bit disappointed in this one.

3.89/5 rDev +8.1%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
Appearance: this one looks a bit too light....It looks more like a brown ale than a porter, or like a amber ale even! I don't get too hung up on appearance or styles, but it bothers me a bit. just a bit. 3.5
Smell: The smell is very faint, but pleasant. A almost sweet cream like smell is present, tho to pick it up I had to inhale a LOT. I suppose its a bit too weak for my tastes. 3.25
Taste: This is where the beer really arrives. This brew has the flavor of sweet vanilla cream, with a dry grainy malty sweetness. Almost like a mix of vanilla soda and very lightly roasted coffee. I think its fantastic. 4.25
Mouthfeel: This beer has a bit of sweetness to it, but also had enough carbonation to balance it out. It also has a grainy like feel that oddly enough I think works. 4
Overall: I've tried a lot of vanilla beers before. Some are good, but most are bad. This beer falls closer to the second category. It has al its eggs in the vanilla basket and that should not be a problem. If you picked up this beer, you do want vanilla, and it delivers it in spades. I would had preferred a deeper roast, a darker color, and a more porter-stout flavor, but for what I got I found it to be very nice. 3.75

look: 1 | smell: 3 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.25 | overall: 2.75
I would say that i normally rate things on the generous side. Whether it is food or beer, I am more inclined to say, "eh it wasn't that bad i guess" even if it should be more critically rated. I preface with that, because that is really saying something when I rate this beer so poorly. I poured rather aggressively and I was absolutely shocked that it produced NO head. Not very little, not less than I'd prefer...NO HEAD. After a few seconds all that was left was a rootbeer-ish foam rim around the glass and that haze that sits in the middle of the glass. To put it in perspective, I literally had to look at the bottle and box to make sure I had not accidentally bought a fancy soda. The mouthfeel is very thin and extremely undercarbonated. The flavor hammers with vanilla and reminds me of a very tasty soda, but not a tasty beer.

Poured from the 12 oz, bottle into a Samuel Adams nonick.
a: Clear dark ruby with a finger thick offwhite head which receded quickly to thin surface foam and some spotty lacing.
s: Slight vanilla.
t: Vanilla over a medium dark malt base followed by hop bite on the sides of the tongue. Vanilla and smoke in the aftertaste.
m: Medium, very smooth.
o: Easy drinking and highly sessionable. First beer I have had which had vanilla in its title and actually delivered significant vanilla flavor. Since vanilla is a personal favorite flavor, I'm liking this porter a lot, although the more common porter smokliness or cold coffee or dark chocolate tones which are mostly absent or masked here are fine too.

Smell: sweet, grainy scent; light vanilla note.
Taste: vanilla beans; mocha and cocoa; light caramel; slight hop bite at the finish.

Pours a deep amber color with a three finger head the slowly recedes leaving little lacing. The beer smells heavily of malts with very little vanilla. The taste is very malty as well with almost not vanilla flavor, however as the beer warms it becomes sweeter and the vanilla more apparent. Good porter over all in my opinion.

Served in a stein at 45F. The beer poured a very dark chocolate color with a 1F head.
The aroma was malt and light vanilla- I was expecting more vanilla.
The carbonation is mild.
The taste is quite good, but unfortunatley, the aroma and MF do not complement it.
Some roasted malt, lemon, light vanilla( I was looking for more). A very good porter taste.
As the beer warms, there is a sweet vanilla and some cocoa.
The body is just right- medium light.
Overall, a very good porter. The taste is better at 50F+.

Enjoyed out of a 12 oz brown bottle with no dating that I remember seeing on the bottle or label to indicate bottling date or freshness date. Poured into a 16 oz nonic style pint glass. I bought this six pack after a sales rep was handing out Breckenridge samples at the liquor store I stopped by on my way home from work.
Appearance - An aggressive pour yields barely a finger of cocoa powder colored head, and it is very sparse/thin looking. The head has dissipates almost immediately, reducing to a rim of foam around the edge of the glass and a sparse mottling of film before I can even pick up the glass after rinsing the bottle out to recycle. Body is also a bit thin looking, overall a dark walnut brown, but with some translucence and lighter brown, reminding me of cola with less carbonation. Lacing is almost nonexistent.
Smell - Bittersweet chocolate, roasted malt and lots of sweet vanilla characteristic are the three aromatic pillars of this brew with the vanilla being the dominant profile. When I sampled it at the liquor store, I remembered it being more rich, with more chocolate and coffee notes, but that is sadly missing. I can't help but wonder if my sample was influenced by the regular oatmeal stout that I had tried moments before.
Taste - Again, vanilla is the star, giving the beer somewhat the impression of mild coffee with too much cream and sugar. Bittersweet and roasted notes in the form of chocolate and oats are also present, but take a back seat to the sweetness. I honestly like it, but wish there was a bit more bitterness to counter the sweetness. Roasted malt is present, but subdued.
Mouthfeel - This is where this beer falls down the most, imho. Much too thin and lacking in body for a porter. Carbonation is also low, and the aftertaste is slightly sweet.
Overall, it's a beer that drinks pretty well as a whole, but doesn't really do anything amazing on any of the individual components. Definitely a case of the sum being better than the parts. I can't help wonder if Breckenridge would be well served to blend their oatmeal stout and vanilla porter to improve the body and balance between the sweet and bitter components.

One of a kind - yes. At first I found this un-remarkable, but in 2 more tries, I like it better.
It makes a great blend with a hoppy session beer like Boat Beer, improves both.
MY recommendation with this beer is to blend it.
EXCEPT for a dessert beer, or as part of a sweet series, I'd skip this one.
A - Pours a deep dark brown, with plenty of amber highlights. Decent head, tight, returns with a swirl and laces moderatly. Seems slightly thin.
S - When I got a fresh bottle I found the aroma satisfying and complex:
Nuts, sour malt, chocolate and of course vanilla, and a bit of bakery. (but do I want this much vanilla in my beer)?
T - The flavor answers the question: No, I dont want this much vanilla in my beer. Definitely let this warm and drink it like an after-dinner drink.
Follows the smell... flavors of coffee and roasted nuts upfront giving way to cola/caramel/vanilla sweetness with caramel and toffee. Surprisingly not cloying, but still too sweet and too vanilla for me.
M - Starts creamy but end too thin and sweet. Neat tingle and long finish. Grows on you.
D - "for someone with a sweet tooth." I'd not have more than one. I'd save for dessert only.
This brew does get better as it warms, serve at cellar (porter) temperature.

Dark brown color gives up a fine foam of neatly organized bubbles.
The scent is dry and malty with an overtone of vanilla bean, which seems appropriate.
T huh e flavor is more vanilla forward with more dry qualities and less sweetness. There's a bit of barley with some chocolate malt.
The feel is easy enough but it is a bit sprite and watery. I would like it to be more thick for vanilla beer.
I really like this beer and think it's amongst the best beer to mix with chocolate and stouter ales.

A: Black with a very thin, mocha-colored head that dissipates quickly, leaving lots of lacing.
S: Very malty with notes of spice and alcohol, which is odd considering the relatively low alcohol content of 4.7% abv. The titular vanilla doesn't quite come through from the smell alone.
T: Ah, there's the vanilla! It's nice and strong- compliments the dark maltiness quite well.
M: Smooth and thick with light carbonation.

Colorado definitely has given the world its fair share of small breweries so this was my first sample from Breckenridge Brewery. Overall, I was pleased. The vanilla smooths out the flavor a bit compared to standard porters out there. However, it wasn't very pronounced in the overall flavor as much as I might have hoped. Definitely not a bad choice for a porter, but I wasn't blown away. All said and done, I would buy/order this again but maybe not my top recommendation.

12 oz. bottle, with no apparent bottled on date present. It's been quite some time since I last had this year-round offering from Breckenridge, but I do remember liking it a bit, so my expectations are good.
Poured into a clear balloon snifter glass.
A - Pours a light chocolate brown, with some red hues when held to the light. Just a few shades away from being black, but still opaque. One finger of creamy tan head with good staying power. Looks pretty good.
S - What jumped out at me initially was some earthy nuttiness, then cold dark coffee bean roast, mineral water, and a hint of chocolate. I'm really only getting the faintest impression of the vanilla on the nose, sadly.
T - The vanilla kicks in on the taste, right upfront, but it subsides quickly. Lightly bitter chocolate, mineral well water, & some sticky caramel malt.
M - Feel thin and watery with high carbonation. Sticky caramel coats the palate on the finish. Not bad, but it could stand to be a bit more full and less bloating.
Overall, not a horrible beer, but more a of a beginner's guide to the realm of more full-bodied and flavorful porters. Light, and approachable though, one could say. It was about what I expected it to be, if slightly underwhelming. Still, I would have it again if it was presented to me.

Appearance: Nice dark brown color, not too much head, leaves some lacing
Smell: Some roasted malts, vanilla
Taste: Roasted malts, vanilla, chocolate, hints of light roast coffee, a little bit like cream soda in a porter. The porter flavors are a bit rough around the edges, and the vanilla isn't strong enough to round this out
Mouthfeel: Medium body, light to medium carbonation
Overall: Not bad, but not as good as I was hoping. If vanilla was stronger, and the flavor was more rounded, it would be better. Picked it up as part of a mixed six, so I won't have to worry about drinking more of these.

poured from a bottle into a pint glass
A: deep dark brown with a 1 cm head, not much lacing
S: pleasant sweet vanilla smell , kind of a sweet-sour smell to it that is also pleasant reminds me for some reason of an Old Bruin beer
T/M: very light on carbonation, beer is highly sessionable, there's a hint of that vanilla sweetness that lends the name, the maltiness follows, as it warms, however, it does not gain any further depth to the flavor, just a good dark porter with a touch of vanilla, I was expecting a bit more, the low alcohol content makes this a good choice if you want to enjoy several
O: Good, it does everything well but nothing exceptional, I am biased because I've been drinking 6-10% 'ers lately so this feels almost too light, but, in addition, it has a sort of one-note quality

This is a decent beer. Heard good things about this brewery which is what made me try it. Very smooth for a porter so it is a good introduction beer for someone who typically does not drink darker beers. Light vanilla smell. Was hoping for a more robust vanilla flavor but it is not there. Very drinkable and enjoyable but was hoping for a little more.

I bought this because I heard many great things about this brewery. like Deschutes, and Russian River, and many others, there are some inherently GREAT breweries out there and I wanted to try this.
poured a very dark, but not totally black, ultra dark brown, with minimal head.
has a very 'rookie' smell to it although I must admit I know nothing of this brewery except I have searched for their other chocolate brew and could not find it... very nice, sweet, chocolate taste and smell, albeit subtle and subdued, but definitely makes an impact on the senses....
seriously disappointed that I found out (now) that it's ONLY 4.7% but oh well; I've been looking for relatives of this brew for awhile.... not bad...

It is not a bad beer at all but it is not great either. It's got a great finish of vanilla which makes me really like drinking this beer. It is an easy drinking beer and goes down really well. Definitely a session beer, I could easily drink a few of these in one session. I could not get a lot of flavors out of the smell but could definitely smell a hint of vanilla. It's an average beer but I would drink it again for sure. I liked it more because It is a colder November night and it definitely feels like a fall/winter kind of beer.

Poured a black color with light showing throug around the edges a deep red color. The look of this beer in a glass is the best part of it though.
Smell was of slightly sweet earthy tones. Not much there hard to describe but still much better smell than a lager.
Taste was not terrible. Don't taste much sweetness mostly bitter vanilla beans. Leaves my mouth very dry.
Overall good quality but not much good balance, a little too bitter for my taste.

Good Man Bobby Goodman
by Robert Mladinich from Sweet Science
As much as Bobby Goodman loves his job as Vice-President of Operations for the Florida-based Don King Productions (DKP), he was glad to be back in his native New York during the first week of January.
Goodman was preparing for the January 7 doubleheader at Madison Square Garden featuring Jean-Marc Mormeck vs. ONeil Bell and Zab Judah vs. Carlos Baldomir.
Its always good to be back home, said Goodman, who has resided in Florida for 11 years but is soon closing on a house in New Jersey so he and his wife Kathleen can be closer to their four daughters and five grandchildren. Im a dyed in the wool New Yorker. I was conceived at Grossingers.
Grossingers, which was located in the Catskill Mountains, was a famous resort where many top fighters trained. Goodmans father Murray, the longtime director of publicity for Madison Square Garden, spent an inordinate amount of time there in an official capacity.
It seems that the eternally youthful Bobby Goodman, who is closing in on 70, has been around the sporting world forever. His love affair with boxing was passed on to him by his father, but fostered by middleweight champion Marcel Cerdan, with whom a pre-pubescent Goodman used to take early morning runs around Grossingers with.
Marcel turned me into a boxing junkie, laughed Goodman. We didnt speak the same language, but we got along great. Four months after Cerdan lost his title to Jake LaMotta in June 1949, Cerdan was killed in a plane crash.
In 1962 Goodman began working as a publicist for the New York Titans football team, which later became the New York Jets. Later, he and his father opened an agency that handled publicity for all of Muhammad Alis closed-circuit fights.
I have so many memories of those days, said Goodman. There are so many characters in boxing and the stories are endless. You never run out of material.
Goodman remembers being in Houston in November 1971 for Alis NABF title bout against Buster Mathis. In the days leading up to the fight, ticket sales were dismal.
I said we had to do something, so Ali got real bug-eyed and said we should say he was kidnapped, laughed Goodman. Then wed find him two days before the fight.
For several years in the late eighties and early nineties, Goodman ran the boxing program at Madison Square Garden, which was eager to sign fighters with championship potential.
Among the local blue-chip prospects that Goodman recruited were Buddy McGirt, Lonnie Bradley, Kevin Kelley, Junior Jones, Tracy Harris Patterson, and Julio Cesar Green.
There were 17 champions in all, said Goodman. Im very proud of the work that I did there.
In his current position, Goodman oversees the entire DKP public relations machine, which is handled so adeptly by Alan Hopper, as well as the matchmaking, of which Eric Bottjer does a masterful job, and the myriad of administrative duties associated with shows both large and small.
In the weeks leading up to a big show like the one were doing on [January 7], were putting in 20 hour work days, explained Goodman. There are so many problems that arise, and they all have to be dealt with immediately. It can be stressful, but we get the job done.
Goodman, who says he can still get by on just a few hours of sleep per night, marvels at Kings infectious energy.
Hes amazing, said Goodman. Watching him work makes me want to work harder. Don never gets tired. Sometimes hell call me at 6 A.M. If Im asleep, hell say, Brother man, sleeping cant get you nothing but dreams.
Almost five years ago, King threw Goodman a 65th birthday party. Were getting old, Goodman said King told him.
Goodman agreed, but added, The difference is you dont want to quit until your 90. I want to stop around 70.
That number is fast approaching , but even though Goodman is moving back up north he still plans on working for King on a part-time basis (If there is such a thing at DKP). The bond between the two is deep and the loyalty palpable even to the most casual observers. .
Dons a special guy, said Goodman. He gets blamed for everything from the Johnstown Flood to the Burning of Atlanta, but there is no quit in the man. Ive been with him for many years and never once has he broken his word with me.
If he gives his word, its a done deal. If the playing field was flat, there would be no one else on HBO or Showtime but him. He delivers the goods over and over again.

Former Mayor Richard M. Daley and his investment firm Tur Partners have started another company, The Sustainability Exchange, to advise cities on how best to squeeze savings out of infrastructure retrofits and upgrades.
Daley and Tur's chief executive, Lori Healey, have organized the exchange as a social enterprise known as an L3C, or a low-profit, limited liability company. It operates much like an LLC but adds one key advantage: Grant-making nonprofits can invest rather easily. (Typically private foundations only make grants to other charities.)
Daley and Healey launched the company last week and have yet to ink their first client. But Healey and Tur principal Michael Reinhold, the exchange's president and chief operating officer, said they are in discussions with several cities, and they explained the problem they want to solve.
"We went to a medium-sized city who prides themselves as doing very well in sustainability," Healey said. "And they were on their third consultant who was evaluating what type of system they should use for converting their streetlights to LEDs," lights that use less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs. Healey added: "And one of the mayors we talked to didn't know which consultant to believe because he felt they were always trying to sell him something from their own stable of (LED) products."
Reinhold added that in Massachusetts the streetlights are owned by utilities, further complicating upgrades.
"So the first thing a city has to do is buy back the streetlights from the utilities," he said. "They have to model out what the expected costs of that are, go through a whole analysis, and once they do that, they have to decide what kind (of LED) to use, what other features to put on it, what hours the lights will stay on, and so on and so forth."
The exchange would help cities make all of those decisions and solicit bids from vendors to do the job — at no charge. The exchange would make money by taking a cut of the cost-savings from the new bulbs over several years.
"Why we think this makes sense — not necessarily for the Chicagos, New Yorks and LAs, but for smaller cities — is that by joining together on these projects they can drive down individual costs," Healey said. "Financing becomes cheaper by bundling things together, and you get much bigger interest from bigger sources of capital."
Daley's name and network are opening doors to city officials and experts. In addition to LED lighting, Reinhold said, he envisions the exchange consulting on retrofits for government buildings; fleet conversions to electric and hybrid vehicles; anaerobic digesters, which convert waste to energy; upgrades to wastewater treatment facilities; and recycling programs.
Cities nationwide are moving to cut costs through more energy-efficient operations — and have succeeded to varying degrees, depending on political will, budget considerations, and staff interest and expertise. New York, for instance, is moving to require composting of food scraps. And while Chicago has a plethora of green roofs, it struggled for years to expand recycling citywide.
On the business end, small, venture-backed technology companies lack the lobbyists needed to persuade city officials to adopt new technologies, and they don't have the money to wait out long procurement decisions.
"So much money is stuck in clean tech (startups), and venture capital firms can't get it out," Healey said. "You know why? Because they can't get the technology adopted at the municipal level."
DePaul begins fundraising
DePaul University has hired Legends Sales & Marketing, a division of the New York-based Legends sports and entertainment company, to secure naming rights for a planned arena that will host DePaul basketball games, concerts and conferences, according to Sports Business Daily.
A Legends spokesman, Eric Gelfand, confirmed Tuesday that the university had retained the company but declined to describe the scope of its assignment.
DePaul is expected to contribute $70 million toward construction costs for the $173 million project and will be able to recoup some of that through the sale of naming rights. DePaul also will get revenue from the sale of six of the 22 suites.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel hopes the 10,000-seat arena will open in 2016 across the street from the McCormick Place West Building.
The facility will be owned by a nonprofit controlled by DePaul and the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority, known as McPier, according to a McPier spokeswoman. McPier, which owns McCormick Place, would oversee construction and operate the new arena.
The university will pay to rent the facility for men's and women's basketball games and other events, and McPier would get parking revenue, ticket service fees and concession sales on everything but DePaul merchandise.
"I think they can probably do better on the naming rights because there's emotional attachment," McPier CEO Jim Reilly said in May. "They'll find some wealthy alum who runs a company."
Two spokeswomen for DePaul, Cynthia Lawson and Carol Hughes, did not return a request for comment.
Legends is owned by the Dallas Cowboys, New York Yankees and Checketts Partners Investment Fund. David Checketts, the former president of Madison Square Garden, is Legends' chairman and CEO.
Legends recently brokered the sale of naming rights, suites and club seats at the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Neb. The arena, which will host University of Nebraska men's and women's basketball games, is scheduled to open this fall.
There, the West Haymarket Joint Public Agency, a government agency made up of the city of Lincoln and the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, owns the facility, and money from naming rights and suite sales is going to pay down the project's debt, according to the Omaha World-Herald.

A man who police say was armed with a machete was shot and killed by officers around 11:30 a.m., investigators said.
The shooting happened at the intersection of North Howard and Oak Streets after police received a call about someone walking around the area suspected of carrying a knife.

Indiana showed Saturday night that it can do more than just whack the ball around the yard.
In their College World Series debut, the Hoosiers backed the dominant pitching of Joey DeNato with errorless play to post a 2-0 victory over Louisville before a TD Ameritrade Park record crowd of 27,122.
"All I've heard all week was Indiana's offense, our offense, our offense,'' Indiana coach Tracy Smith said. "I was very proud and pleased that Joey was able to set the tone.
"As much as our offense has been a real key for us this year, at the end of the day, if you want to win a national championship, you still have to do it with pitching and defense.''
DeNato threw 136 pitches in recording his 10th win in 12 decisions this season. The junior left-hander gave up three singles and a double while striking out eight in his second complete game of the season — his first came in an eight-inning stint in a loss at Ohio State.
Louisville had scored 33 runs in sweeping its way through the first two stages of the tournament but couldn't get anything going for the second time this season against DeNato. He had pitched four shutout innings in Indiana's season-opening win over the Cardinals at a tournament in Florida.
"He competes and never gives in,'' Louisville right fielder Cole Sturgeon said. "He out-competed us. As hard as that is to say, he won pitches when he needed to and we didn't get the big hit when we needed it.''
The one time the Cardinals did, Indiana right fielder Will Nolden came up with a clutch defensive play. Louisville was already down by two runs in the third inning but used a walk and a wild pitch to get Sutton Whiting to second base.
Sturgeon delivered a two-out single that could have cut the deficit in half, but Nolden fielded the ball and unleashed a perfect strike to catcher Kyle Schwarber to easily get Whiting at the plate.
"Off the bat, I knew there was a chance,'' said Nolden in recalling his laser throw to the plate. "I just put everything I could behind it and just let Kyle do his job.''
Louisville got only one runner to second base in the final six innings against DeNato. Adam Engel laced a hanging breaking pitch into the left-field corner for a two-out double in the eighth inning.
DeNato needed but one pitch to get out of trouble as he retired Sturgeon on a routine grounder to second base.
He then finished off the win with a six-pitch ninth inning as Indiana improved to 49-14 and moved into a Monday night winners game against Mississippi State, which had opened the 67th CWS with a 5-4 win over Oregon State.
"As the game went on, I think my pitches got sharper,'' DeNato said. "I was getting ahead in the count more.''
Louisville's inability to capitalize when DeNato wasn't as sharp was a key factor in the loss, Cardinals coach Dan McDonnell said. It left his team 51-13 and facing an elimination game against Oregon State.
"There were a lot of three-ball counts on our hitters, and we just couldn't win those at-bats,'' McDonnell said. "That's what was frustrating. We just couldn't get guys on base tonight.''
Indiana had plenty of base runners — the Hoosiers had seven hits, drew six walks and had two batters hit by pitches — but managed just the two early runs. Indiana scored in the first inning on Scott Donley's two-out single and made it 2-0 on Michael Basil's bases-loaded single.
Schwarber got thrown out at the plate on the play. Indiana squandered additional opportunities in leaving runners in scoring position in the fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth innings.
The Hoosiers had runners at first and third in the ninth, but Nolden got picked off third base. He also got caught in a rundown in the first inning while breaking off second early.
"Little mental slip-ups there,'' Nolden said. "It won't happen again.''
Obviously, those can be overlooked in a history-making victory. This is just the third time Indiana has participated in the NCAA tournament and the first time it has advanced to Omaha. The Hoosiers also are the first team from the Big Ten to make a CWS appearance since 1984.
While acknowledging that his team did make some mistakes, Smith also pointed out that the Hoosiers avoided the stage fright that often ruins the show for first-time qualifiers.
"I was anxious to see if these guys would finally get a little nerves going,'' Smith said. "Once again, they did not. They just went out and played and had fun. It's fun to watch.''

Efficient storage management for big data applications
Explosions of data, transactions, and digitally-aware devices are straining IT infrastructure and operations, while storage costs and user expectations are increasing. The IBM General Parallel File System™ (GPFS™), a high-performance enterprise file management platform, can help you move beyond simply adding storage to optimizing data management.
Whether you are working with big data analytics, have the need to manage large amounts of structured and unstructured data, or simply require the ability to store and forward large amounts of file based data quickly, reliably and efficiently, you need a clustered file system. These systems safely support high performance data and offer consistent access to a common set of data from multiple servers. GPFS can bring together the power of multiple file servers and multiple storage controllers, to provide higher reliability thus outperforming single file server solutions.
Customers use GPFS to do low latency analytics, high-speed back up and recovery, high-speed file ingest, and optimize data workflow, enabling faster business process performance. GPFS provides your business with:
- Seamless capacity expansion to handle the explosive growth of big data and digital information;
- Improved efficiency through enterprise wide, interdepartmental file sharing;
- Proven commercial-grade reliability to eliminate production outages and eases information life cycle management with policy-driven automation;
- Cost-effective disaster recovery and business continuity;
- Flexibility to support a wide variety of platforms- Linux, AIX, Windows;
- Active File Management to enable asynchronous access and control of local and remote files.
Optimize storage utilization, maximize return on investments
IBM General Parallel File System™ (GPFS™) currently powers many commercial and scientific applications requiring high-speed access to large volumes of data such as:
- Bioinformatics
- Operational analytics
- Digital media
- Engineering design
- Business intelligence
- Financial Analytics
- Seismic data processing
- Geographic information systems
- Scalable file serving
GPFS provides online storage management, scalable access, and integrated information lifecycle management tools capable of managing petabytes of data and billions of files. By virtualizing your file storage space and allowing multiple systems and applications to share common pools of storage, GPFS provides you the flexibility to transparently administer the infrastructure without disrupting applications, thus lowering storage costs, and reducing management overhead.
What's more, GPFS is designed to ensure there is no single point of failure. Unlike some file systems designs, GPFS is not reliant on centralized management to determine file location and placement. This ensures continuous and highly available access to data in case of software or hardware node failures.
GPFS also features Active File Management (AFM) technology. AFM is a powerful remote file caching technology that ensures high performance access to file based information no matter where it might be geographically located. This important feature is useful for organizations that share large volumes of file based data and require high levels of information availability no matter where it resides. So applications demanding high SLA requirements will benefit from AFM.
GPFS – It's not just storage it's data management
The growth of data has placed a strain on IT infrastructure as organizations add more storage hardware. However, in the end, it's not about storage, it's about data management. Traditional network-attached storage solutions are restricted in performance, security and scalability. A single file server cannot scale, and even a roomful of file servers is not flexible enough to provide the dynamic, data access 24 hours a day every day of the week that a data-intensive computing environment requires. To overcome these issues, you need to look at a new, more effective approach to managing data.
The IBM GPFS™ not only enables high-performance, file-based storage access, it also can help in optimizing data management. GPFS™ provides proven reliable access to a common set of file data using a single global namespace. This enables centralized visibility and administration features to help better manage storage costs. Specifically:
- Online storage management and efficient use of available storage
- Scalable data access through tightly integrated information lifecycle tools capable of managing petabytes of data and billions of files
- Centralized administration
- Shared access to file systems from remote GPFS clusters
- Scalable, high-performance remote file data caching
GPFS can reduce data duplication and make more efficient use of storage components by combining isolated islands of information into a centralized, high-performance storage infrastructure. It also can help improve server hardware utilization by allowing dynamic storage access to all data from any node. By improving storage use, optimizing process workflow and simplifying storage administration, GPFS lets you take a multipronged approach toward better data management resulting in lower storage costs.

text: The Royal Ballets founder choreographer, Frederick Ashton, followed a similar strategy, leaving his ballets to his friends in the hope that they could make a bit of money out of them. This policy served him well when the ballets lay in the hands of the people who danced them, such as Michael Somes, Margot Fonteyn and Brian Shaw. But the death of Alexander Grant last week is a reminder of its perils: he owned La Fille mal gardée, one of Ashtons greatest works. No one knows who will be left it in his will. Once the works pass out of the hands of dancers who understand Ashtons legacy, they are in need of extra care.

Baseball Falls 3-0 in Home Opener to King College
DAHLONEGA, Ga. – The University of North Georgia baseball team opened its home slate Friday evening with a 3-0 loss to King College (TN) at Bob Stein Stadium. The Saints fought hard, but were unable to record a hit as Corey Rhodes dealt the complete game to secure the no hitter for the Tornado.
The Saints (0-4) did not give up a run to the Tornado (3-1) until the seventh inning when Steven Todoschuk scored all the way from first base following an error committed in right-center field. The Tornado then tacked on another two runs in the next inning to go up 3-0.
Jose Sola led the way at the plate for King with a 2-3 performance and one run scored.
Rhodes struck out his final batter to record the shutout after a conference with his coach and finished with nine strikeouts for the nine innings. He also walked three batters and hit two others.
Christian Turnipseed had a solid outing on the mound with seven innings of work and nine strikeouts compared to just one earned run to accept his first loss of the season (0-1). He also recorded two assists as he caught two runners sleeping at second base.
The two teams will renew their rivalry tomorrow afternoon with a 1:00 p.m. first pitch.

At the end of his acceptance speech after winning the Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television, Peter Dinklage told viewers to look up a man named Martin Henderson. "I want to mention a gentleman I'm thinking about in England," Dinklage said. He was refering to this man, a dwarf who was partially paralyzed when a stranger picked him up and threw him onto the ground outside an English pub.
The attack, which occurred late last year, has been widely condemned. Shortly after the incident, Henderson told an English paper recently, "I was at the back of the pub outside and the next thing I know I'm suddenly in the air and someone has got hold of me," Henderson told The Sun. "A man just approached, lifted me up and dropped me. He didn't say anything."

Henderson, who is an actor, says he has been unable to get work following the assault. He's commented that the attack may have been inspired by an event in which some members of the English rugby squad attended a "dwarf tossing" event weeks before. No arrests have been made.
